How to make orange dragon fruit jam

1. Wash the lemon and squeeze out the juice for later use; wash the orange carefully with salt, peel the peel, and then soak the peel in water for more than 4 hours; peel the orange flesh into small pieces and remove the seeds, then tear off the white film and set aside; peel the pitaya and cut into cubes. Since the pitaya flesh easily turns brown, soak it in salt water or sprinkle with lemon juice to prevent discoloration.

2. Boil half a pot of water in an acid-resistant pot, add 1 tablespoon of salt, put the soaked orange peel into the pot and cook for 10 minutes to soften the orange peel and remove the bitterness. Soak the boiled orange peel in cold water first, and after cooling, use a fruit knife to remove the white orange peel, and then cut the orange peel into thin strips.

3. Put the processed orange peel, orange flesh and dragon fruit cubes into an acid-resistant pot, add lemon juice and bring to a boil over medium heat, then turn to low heat and add maltose to continue cooking. Stir constantly with a wooden ladle during cooking.

4. After the maltose is completely dissolved, add the granulated sugar and continue to stir and cook until the sauce becomes thick.
